The document discusses the shortage of truck drivers and calls for simplifying legislation to attract more drivers. It notes that truck drivers currently face over 2,000 potential offenses just for inserting the key, and the regulations manual is almost 600 pages. Simplifying laws would help attract new drivers and encourage companies to take more responsibility for the drivers they manage. New technologies can also help monitor drivers' hours to make the industry more attractive.
